"Simpler is hard"

What do you like best about Phusion Passenger?

Phusion makes it trivial to run Ruby or python apps on top of Apache or Nginx.

Setup is very simple, has a simple to follow wizard and you should be able to be up and running in no time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phusion Passenger?

Some default configurations are weird, like default concurrency, caching, gzip and etags. I mean, they work but it is highly like you wanna fiddle with them which, to me, means they have poor default values.

Still, docs make it easy to configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
